Bachelor In Paradise Finale Part 1 recap

The first night of the two-part Bachelor In Paradise finale included two shocking breakups, and while three couples still remain, no one could have predicted the results from Monday's show. The season will conclude on Tuesday night, and the cast will return for a tell-all studio show that looks to be explosive.

Our final edition of Bachelor In Paradise Power Rankings will return Wednesday following the last episode of the season.

Rose Ceremony results:

Cassandra picked: Jordan M.

Shushanna picked: Robby

Annaliese picked: Kamil

Astrid picked: Kevin

Krystal picked: Chris

Jenna picked: Jordan

Olivia picked: John

Annaliese

Annaliese officially referred to Kamil as her "boyfriend" during the Rose Ceremony, and later may have foreshadowed what could go down on Tuesday by saying that she'd be devastated if Kamil broke up with her.

When the couple met to discuss whether they wanted to spend the night in a fantasy suite, Annaliese made it clear that she was definitely ready and wanted to spend as much time with Kamil as possible. Kamil had privately been wondering if he was ready, but didn't bring up any of his fears to Annaliese and simply accepted her invitation.

Int he fantasy suite, Annaliese asked Kamil if she was the right girl for him, and not just the right "type." Kamil told her that she is the one, and revealed that he's falling in love with her.

Annaliese has been talking about getting engaged in Paradise since the beginning of the season, and she'll be expecting a ring before they depart.

Astrid (left the show)

Astrid and Kevin had been the strongest couple in Paradise for the entirety of the show, and seemed to be the only pair with zero question marks. In a shocking twist, Kevin's second thoughts about the relationship led to an emotional breakup just before a trip to the fantasy suite.

Prior to their final conversation, Astrid told the camera that she felt as if she was living in a bubble with Kevin and was waiting for it to pop. She also revealed that while she doesn't "need to get engaged," she wouldn't say no if Kevin asked.

On the penultimate day in Paradise, Kevin told Astrid that he was having an "actual mental breakdown," and expressed concern over the prospect of staying in the fantasy suite and picking out an engagement ring the next morning. Kevin told Astrid that he felt he was at "80 percent," but that some things weren't "sitting right" with him.

Astrid told Kevin that her mind was "boggled," and brought up that she asked him not to blindside her at the end of the show. She decided to leave the show, and said in the car ride away from Paradise that Kevin shouldn't have come on the show if he wasn't ready to commit.

Kevin and Astrid will have a sit-down interview with Chris Harrison on Tuesday.

Cassandra (left the show)

Cassandra seemed to be enjoying her time with Jordan M., but had to ask him point blank to make a move, which was slightly awkward. After Chris Harrison told the couples that they should break up and leave the show if they aren't ready to stay in a fantasy suite, Cassandra believed that it was time to take their relationship outside of Paradise - but was surprised to find that Jordan apparently considered their relationship to be over.

In their final conversation, Jordan said that he felt they gave it a "great shot," but that the relationship wouldn't have ended any differently if they had met earlier.

Chris

While every other couple in Paradise was stressed out over the string of breakups, Chris and Krystal were perfectly in sync. Their discussion about going to a fantasy suite was impressively short:

Chris: "To be honest, I'm ready to take this to the next level."

Krystal: "Same."

The couple bonded over their childhood stories inside the fantasy suite, and Chris had a touching message for Krystal.

"I think you would be an amazing wife. I think you would be an amazing mom one day."

I never believed it could happen, but the supervillain from Becca's season who rebranded himself as a goose might pop the question on Tuesday.

Diggy (eliminated)

In a last-ditch attempt to win Olivia's heart, Diggy brought back the trumpeter from their date to play them a private song in Paradise. Unfortunately for Diggy, John boldly walked in and stole Olivia away mid-dance to impress her with his own surprise.

Jenna

Jenna and Jordan received the final date card in Paradise, and they were surprised with an engagement photo shoot. Jenna was understandably nervous about the thought of getting engaged, and was later asked to put on a wedding dress for one final series of photos.

Jenna told Jordan that the dress scared her, and he tried to reassure her by admitting that he'd never felt this way and that if Jenna walked out of his life, there'd be "no more romance."

A clash between Jordan and Robby was endlessly teased prior to the show, but Jenna turned Robby down when he asked about a potential date, warning him that Jordan "might peel his skin off and cook it."

Jenna and Jordan chose to stick around for the fantasy suite, and she had an amazing message for him after he acknowledged that he might propose the next day.

"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Cheers!"

Joe (left the show)

Joe, who has spent much of his time in Paradise admitting in private interviews that he's head over heels for Kendall and much less time telling her as much, decided to have a conversation with Kendall about their future on the night before the Rose Ceremony.

"I came here scared of commitment, and i'm dating a girl who's petrified of commitment."

Joe's conversation with Kendall started off well…

"I like you. I like your soul."

… but quickly went off track. Joe's not much of a communicator, as we've seen throughout the show, and he stunned Kendall by bringing up the possibility of getting engaged.

"I think after we leave here it's going to be weird not seeing you every day…. but you never know, maybe we'll get engaged."

Keep in mind that Joe and Kendall haven't exchanged "I love yous" yet. Kendall told Joe that he wasn't being serious, and that he's refused to have serious conversations with her about their future during their time in Paradise. Kendall, obviously rattled, told Joe that she wanted to "sleep on it."

The next day, Joe told Jordan that Kendall's reaction was "out of left field," and he seemingly had the sympathy of everyone in Paradise. Kevin went as far as to announce to everyone that Kendall was "in the wrong" over the way she treated Joe.

Joe and Kendall waited an entire day to have another conversation, and Joe got defensive, claiming that Kendall should have understood his feelings for her, and that he wasn't able to express himself because he didn't want to "smother" her. Joe also brought up her interactions with other men in Paradise.

Joe: "I didn't want you to go on the date with Leo, I was pissed that you kissed John…"

Kendall: "Why am I only hearing about that now."

Kendall, of course, is being painted as the villain in this breakup on social media because Joe is so well-liked by Twitter, but we've been seeing signs that this was a dysfunctional relationship for weeks. As Kendall noted, we haven't seen Joe have an in-depth conversation with her for the entire show. When he had a perfect opportunity to express himself during their date last week, Joe told Kendall that he "really liked her" and that "maybe" he's found the right person this time.

You can't jump from "I really like you" to "maybe we'll get engaged" in a matter of days, Joe.

John (left the show)

The summer of John is finally over, but not before he demonstrated his outrageous game once again. When John noticed Diggy and Olivia dancing, he swooped in and stole her away, then surprised her with a circle of sunflowers planted on the beach. John told Olivia that he loves sunflowers because of the way they turn to the sun, and said she's the "brightest person here."

John got Olivia's rose, and they agreed the next day that they weren't in a position to stay in a fantasy suite. John told Olivia that she's a "breath of fresh air" in his life, but that he doesn't want to say goodbye. They plan to keep in touch and try to make their relationship work.

Jordan

Jordan and Jenna looked perfect together in their engagement photos, and he said all the right things when Jenna was nervous about their future. The confrontation with Robby was unsurprisingly overplayed by producers. Instead of a brawl on the beach, Jordan told Robby that he and Jenna are falling for each other, and that asking Jenna out would be a waste of a date card.

In the fantasy suite, Jordan told Jenna that "it's been a struggle trying to catch up the words to" how he feels.

Jordan: In this moment, I can say that I am in love with you.

Jenna: Oh my gosh, i'm going to cry"

Will Jordan propose in the season finale? Of the three couples remaining, I have the highest hopes for Jenna and Jordan. Even if Jordan doesn't pop the question, it seems like their bond can survive in the real world.

Here are Jordan's best quotes from the show:

"Get camera ready? I was born camera ready!"

"I never thought I was going to find my Jenna, but there she was just a few states away this whole time."

"Robby's like a handsome-r version of David. I get chicken vibes."

Jordan M. (left the show)

Jordan shared the most awkward kiss of the season with Cass, only after being asked if he typically makes a move or waits for a woman to make a move.

"Are you asking me to make a move?"

Kamil

It's extremely difficult to read Kamil, who appears to be ready for a future with Annaliese yet consistently shows signs that he might be having second thoughts. Before they had the fantasy suite discussion, Kamil wasn't sure how he felt.

"She's a great person, I just don't know."

"She's ready, I know she's ready, 100 percent."

When he met with Annaliese and she told him that they "definitely should do this," Kamil swallowed any doubts he may have had at the moment and agreed. That night, however, Kamil told Annaliese that he's falling in love with her.

I'm not sure Kamil and Annaliese are ready for an engagement - to be fair, none of these couples are - but he's going to be under a ton of pressure to pop the question in the finale.

Kendall (left the show)

In her conversation with Joe prior to the Rose Ceremony, Kendall told him that she "doesn't know what kind of love she has, or if she's in love."

It's a question that Kendall has frequently asked herself throughout the show. She's admitted to wondering if her relationship with Joe "was enough," and said that while hanging out with Joe is "fun," it might not be the deep connection she wants from a partner.

Kendall was somewhat blindsided by Joe in their final conversation, telling him that she was hearing the extent of his feelings for the first time. Joe seemed to believe that hanging out by the pool every day in Paradise equated to a strong and meaningful relationship, whereas Kendall kept waiting for Joe to express his true feelings. That didn't happen… until Joe blew up and announced he was leaving.

In the ride home, Kendall said that her "heart breaks imagining not being with him."

Kevin (left the show)

Midway through the season, Kevin nearly torpedoed his relationship with Astrid when he told her that he wished she had dated other people in Paradise before meeting him. Since that speedbump, Kevin and Astrid seemed to be perfect for each other, and he wasn't shy about expressing her feelings for her.

In episode 10, Kevin surprised Astrid once again, telling her that he only felt like he was 80 percent invested into the relationship. Kevin felt there was an expectation for him to propose on the morning after the fantasy suite, during their final day in Paradise, and began to have second thoughts.

It's important to note here this Kevin has previously appeared on two seasons of Bachelor-related shows, and he had negative outcomes on both. This guy might just need a break from reality television.

Astrid walked away from their conversation and left, but it didn't necessarily feel like a definitive breakup. Kevin may just have needed more time, which is completely understandable. I wouldn't write off this couple just yet.

Krystal

Krystal also expressed some concern about rushing into an engagement, but told Chris that if she doesn't bring down her guard, she feels that she might lose him. The preview for the next episode revealed that there's a dramatic twist in this relationship, so I wouldn't expect to see a proposal on Tuesday.

Olivia (left the show)

Olivia revealed to the other women on the show that she's dated the same type of guys who have hurt her "over and over," and was taking a chance on John by dating someone entirely different.

She later agreed with John that they weren't ready for a fantasy suite, and they departed on good terms. If Olivia had arrived in Paradise a few weeks earlier, the show may have ended very differently for her.

Robby (left the show)

Robby, who was featured on the last season of Bachelor In Paradise, reportedly cheated on ex-girlfriend Amanda Stanton and was called out on the season finale last year.

Robby selected Shushanna for his date, and they had a pleasant evening despite being seated directly below a tree that pelted them with seeds. Prior to the Rose Ceremony, Olivia and Cassandra pulled Shushanna aside to raise concerns about Robby's character, and Shu later asked Robby point blank if he's ever cheated on a partner. Robby admitted that he had, but Shushanna decided that Robby still deserved "100 percent" of her trust.

Robby and Shu departed the show prior to fantasy suites, but Robby agreed to go out with her whenever he's in Utah.

Shushanna (left the show)

After boldly telling Robby that she has full trust in him, Shushanna spent a few moments enjoying his cologne.

"It smells really good. I want to smell it all the time."

Couple rankings:

1. Jenna and Jordan

Jordan told Jenna that he's only going to get engaged once in his life. Will that happen on Tuesday?

2. Chris and Krystal

Chris and Krystal seem perfect for each other, but there's drama on the horizon per the preview of episode 11.

3. Annaliese and Kamil

I think Kamil likes Annaliese more than he lets on, but I'm not sure he's ready to get on one knee just yet.

4. Kevin and Astrid

I refuse to give up on Kevin and Astrid.

5. John and Olivia

Oliva's from Chicago and John lives in the Bay Area. This probably isn't going to last forever.

6. Jordan M. and Cassandra

Cassandra seemed willing to keep a relationship alive in the real world, but Jordan shut her down.

7. Shushanna and Robby

How often does Robby go to Utah, anyway?

8. Joe and Kendall

We've been calling the Joe and Kendall breakup for weeks. And no, Joe should not replace Colton as The Bachelor.
